Some kennel clubs will start blood lines. Contact the registry to find out the rules for starting blood lines. Don’t breed two dogs from the same litter.
Generally, anyone can create a new dog breed with just a few dogs. The end goal for any dog breeder is to breed absolutely true, which results in less room for error and more control over the overall production. It takes three generations of breeding true in order for a dog breed to be considered and labeled viable.
When it comes to selecting a dog breed, you have two options: man-made or natural breeds. Responsible breeding will ensure that you’re not creating sicker dogs but healthier ones. If you don’t research your specific breed and what all their health looks like, you risk breeding unhealthy dogs, which is heartbreaking. If you begin dog breeding without doing your research on the breed and the process in general, you’re not breeding responsibility, and it can cause significant stress on you and your dogs.
The purpose of line breeding is to create a superior class of specimens that come as close as possible to the breed standard. Creating and maintaining your own bloodline will provide a rich background for dog breeders. This will also give you some leeway in the case you decide to showcase a dog in competitions.
Additionally, traits are enhanced through the generations, while eliminating faults and undesirable traits. Before committing to breed, assess resources. With registration number, contact sites. They provide pedigrees for a fee. AKC can usually provide four to five generation pedigrees.
Creating and maintaining a bloodline gives background. Additionally, breeding methods help create a consistent breed with desired traits. Creating a breed requires research, planning, and dedication.
Man-made versus natural breeds – options when selecting. While possible, breeding requires genetic knowledge about health issues. Researching the specific breed ensures healthier dogs. Not researching risks unhealthy dogs.
Know the breed standards, even if not breeding show dogs. Standards contribute to personality and health.
